Protecting Me

Chapter 7

I never saw that girl again who had helped me. It was like she was an angel send from heaven wanting to help me. And I was thankful for that.

Right now I didn't have any money or anything worse something on me, except the guitar, so I sat down on the street and started playing, while I sang the song dedicated to me, the day he asked me to become his girlfriend.

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

A little girl wanted to give me some money, and she looked so beautiful and had ocean blue eyes, who reminded me of Troy. But her mom wouldn't let her daughter give me any money.

"Mommy sings beautiful" she said pointing at me.

"Yes Hunnie, but don't give her any money. I'm sure she already has a lot" She looked up and down at me and shook her head as she dragged her daughter with her.

I guess the girl was only about 3, she looked back at me and waved and I waved back as tears began falling down my cheeks.

After 2 hours I had got 20$ so I bought some food and something to drink. I also found a phone box and used some of the money to call Troy. I still hadn't forgotten his number. I dialed his number and I was met of his voice.

"Hello.." For somehow I couldn't find any words to say to him. "Brie?.." God I loved when he called me that, but I just couldn't talk to him not now. I hung up and ran as fast as I could away with tears falling from my cheeks.

With Troy

God why did she hung up on me? It was Brie I was sure it was her, I could feel it. Where was she? I wish I knew, and then I'll come find her and hold her in my arms and never wanting to let go of her. Why did I even let her go in the first place? I should have been there for her, more than I already were. I should have listened more to her. Everything is my fault. If she was just here I would tell her how sorry I was for all the things I'd done to her. I would tell her how much I loved her, and that I wouldn't change for anything. I couldn't live without her, and I wanted her back in my life.

Back with Gabriella

I had to call Troy I had to, I needed to. I missed him so much. And I needed to talk to him. So I found some more money and dialed his number.

"Hello.." It was his beautiful voice again, but I didn't say anything. "Brie if this is really you then talk to me, please 'cause I miss you so much" I started crying. "Troy I'm sorry" "Don't be just tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up, Brie please. I want you back" "I'm in California" I said in between tears.

"California? What are you doing there?" "I had to leave Troy, so California seemed appropriate" I cried harder. "Princess don't cry, tell me exactly where you are and I'll come get you" "Chino.. I'm in Chino" "Okay I'll start driving as soon as possible, and I won't stop driving until I'm reunited with you again, okay?" "Yeah.." I sad while sobbing. "Brie go to a nearby hotel and stay there, and I'll pick you up when I come. I'll pay when I get there. Just call and tell me which hotel" I nodded not thinking that he couldn't see me. "Brie you understand?" "Yes Troy.. And Troy don't tell anybody you know where I am" "I promise you I won't"

With Troy

I found my wallet as quickly as possible, found my jacket and rushed down making some sandwiches. I couldn't stop anywhere it was waste of time, and I wanted to get to Brie right now"

"Troy Hunnie, where are you going?" my mom asked coming out in to the kitchen.

"Well.." C'mon Troy, come up with a lie, you can do it. I said to myself. "A road trip with Chad and the others"

She smiled widely at me. "Oh that sounds as a good idea, remember towels and clean underwear"

"Yes mom" Luckily she bought my lie but I had to go back upstairs and pack some clothes, even though I just wanted to rush right out to my car. I packed the clothes and about 20 minutes after I had last talked to Brie, I was done.

I heard my phone ring but couldn't find it. Damn where was my phone, it was probably Brie, and if somebody else took it.. God no I had promised not to tell anybody.

"Troy your phone" Austin said walking over to me with the phone.

"Thanks man.." I took it. "Hello" she told me where she was. And how much she wanted to see me. "Troy I love you" "You too" I said 'cause if I had said I love you too, Austin would have gotten too curious. "I'll see ya soon bye.." I hung up.

"Who was that?" Austin asked with crossed arms. "No one" I said as I tried to get out and in to my car, but he grabbed me by the arm. "Troy tell me" "Austin leave me alone it's none of your business" "You're not going on any road trip are you?" "Yes of course" "No you're not Troy you're lying, tell me where you're going and the person on the phone"

"Austin no!" "Tell me or I'll tell mom you aren't going on any road trip" "How old are you, 8? Austin grow up" "You know I think you're running away like Brie" "And would I do that?" I looked at him confused.

"I don't know, sometimes you do thinks I don't get" "If you let go of me now, you'll find out where I've been sooner" "I don't believe you, you won't tell me" "No I won't, but you'll find out yourself, of you'll just let me go" he slipped my arm and I ran to my car, and drove off. I couldn't wait to see Brie.
